- Level 3 Providing Highly Scalable Content Delivery Network Services to
International Online Games Publisher

Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: LVLT) today announced that it has
been selected to provide content delivery network (CDN) services to support
the worldwide online delivery of game content for the Frogster Group, a top
international online games publisher. Level 3 is providing the company with
caching and download services to support high-speed game downloads and
updates for Frogster's online game titles, including the award-winning Runes
of Magic massively multiplayer online game (MMO).

"Perhaps more than in any other area of the entertainment industry, user
experience is critical to the success (and ultimately the bottom line) of an
online game," said Seth Iorio, chief operating officer and member of the
executive board at Frogster. "In order to facilitate a great user experience,
we were looking for a CDN provider that understood the demanding nature of
our customers, who want the newest content on a massive scale as soon as it's
available. We have chosen Level 3 because they have not only the technology,
reach and scale, but also the expertise to ensure that our customers enjoy a
quality gaming experience."

The Frogster Interactive Pictures AG, listed at Frankfurt stock exchange
(FRGG.DE / FRG: GR), is an international publisher of high-quality online
games. Its subsidiaries Frogster Online Gaming, Frogster America and Frogster
Pacific market and operate their games in Europe, America and Oceania,
respectively. The company serves more than six million users worldwide.

Frogster focuses on the marketing and operation of client-based MMO
games, a rapidly growing area of the entertainment industry. Level 3 is
providing support for the company's current titles as well its upcoming
launches such as TERA. Level 3's CDN services are designed to support
Frogster and its end users with fast, reliable content downloads and updates,
even during peak traffic or flash crowds (for example, when a new patch to a
game is released or when a game is launched).

"As the online games industry has grown and demand for game content
across devices has exploded, it has become increasingly important to have a
CDN with the underlying network infrastructure in place to easily scale to
support a quality experience," said James Heard, president of European
Markets at Level 3. "Level 3 has not only the right blend of network
infrastructure and tools, but we also understand some of the unique
challenges our games customers like Frogster face - things like managing
growth on a global scale, or finding the right business model to make a
free-to-play game profitable - and we work with them to address those
challenges with the right combination of solutions."

The Level 3 network is trusted by some of the biggest names in the
entertainment and media business to deliver content to audiences worldwide.
The company's services for the gaming industry are similarly designed to
seamlessly deliver high-quality online content to end-users, allowing
developers and publishers to spend more time designing and developing the
best games possible and less time thinking about how to deliver them online.
